The property
An opportunity has arisen to acquire a superb and well-presented mid-terraced stone Victorian villa of great charm and character which benefits from gas central heating, double glazing with a front garden and a paved rear garden with garage. Port Seton is a much sought after and popular area providing easy access into the city centre of Edinburgh by the A1 and also connection from the A1 to the Edinburgh City Bypass and to the central motorway network, Edinburgh Airport and the Queensferry Crossing. Within Port Seton itself are shops and stores providing day-to-day requirements and there is a Community Centre, primary school and medical centre. Buses serve this area leading to Edinburgh and other parts of East Lothian, and the railway station at Prestonpans is a short distance away with regular train services into Waverley. Kinnaird Park is a short drive away and offers a wide variety of outlets including Marks & Spencer and Boots. Port Seton is a former fishing village and still benefits from an attractive sea front, a beach close at hand and a harbour. Coastal walks can be enjoyed along the River Forth and there are many golf courses within the area, and a fitness centre at Kinnaird Park. The property offers very spacious family accommodation located over two floors. There is an entrance vestibule leading to the inner reception hall and on the ground floor the accommodation comprises a sunny south facing lounge facing the front garden, the sitting room/dining room to the rear and a fully fitted and well equipped kitchen/breakfast room. The downstairs accommodation is completed with the downstairs WC and two excellent storage cupboards. The family bathroom, with four piece suite, is located on the first landing along with a double bedroom looking to the rear. The second landing opens to three further bedrooms, two very spacious double bedrooms and a third well-proportioned single bedroom facing the front garden. There is full gas central heating, double glazing at the rear and secondary glazing to the front, and the fitted carpets and curtains are included in the sale. The front garden has a border of shrubs and plants and to the rear the garden is enclosed and is paved for ease of maintenance. This provides parking for two further vehicles. There is a single garage with light and power with access from the lane to the rear of the property. The house is in walk-in condition and enjoys good natural light and sunshine from its southerly aspect. The accommodation is deceptively spacious and to appreciate the location of the property, only a short distance from the sea front, early viewing is highly recommended.
